3. 测试:
insmod secondchar.ko;
sudo ./test 输出如下:
注意:上面insmod secondchar.ko后会自动创建设备节点:/dev/second
等价于:mknod /dev/second c 248 100
自动创建设备节点:
从linux内核2.6的某个版本之后,devfs不复存在,udev成为devfs的替代。相比devfs,udev有很多优势,
在此就不罗嗦了,提醒一点,udev是应用层的东东,不要试图在内核的配置选项里找到它;加入对udev的
支持很简单,以作者所写的一个字符设备驱动为例,在驱动初始化的代码里调用class_create为该设备
创建一个class,再为每个设备调用 class_device_create创建对应的设备。大致用法如下:
struct class *myclass = class_create(THIS_MODULE, “my_device_driver”);
class_device_create(myclass, NULL, MKDEV(major_num, 0), NULL, “my_device”);
这样的module被加载时,udev daemon就会自动在/dev下创建my_device设备文件。

struct class *class_create(struct module *owner, const char *name)
class_create - create a struct class structure
@owner: pointer to the module that is to "own" this struct class
@name: pointer to a string for the name of this class.

class_device_create - creates a class device and registers it with sysfs
@cls: pointer to the struct class that this device should be registered to.
@parent: pointer to the parent struct class_device of this new device, if any.
